First, some pictures of our prototype in Rhubarb

*We're trying to see if there can be anything done to the indicator lights, so they perform other functions.

IC Form!
Audio ONLY: Typing Test with Filmed Opblacks lubed with 3204. Keycaps used were CRP R3 Tulip

Typing Video by our good friend magicpretzel!

This keyboard is still in IC phase, although we already have a prototype, it will be subject to changes as we see fit.
Currently the prototype has some dimensional issues, and we've addressed that in our current design.
We won't be providing knob support for this for the time being, as we want to keep it as simple as possible.
The mounting is pretty simple, 4 O-rings will wrap around standoffs on the PCB, and it will fit in the inside of the case.
There will be case alignment pins to assist you in building this keyboard.
The USB port has some space around it to account for PCB flex during typing, it can be seen in the images link
